Summary

There is a spy
in S&D systems who is leaking top-secret information that could lead to
extreme disaster. It's up to Shane Gallagher to uncover the mole and set things
right.

Systems analyst
Elena Reyes had no intention of stealing company secrets until her brother's
life was threatened by the cruelest of mobsters. When Elena finally confesses
her deeds to Shane, he's ready to do everything he can to keep her out of
danger. But will Shane's help be enough to protect them, or will his good
intentions leave them all for dead?

Excerpt

Elena had never
thought about seducIng a man. She wasn’t even sure of her moves. But she knew
that Shane wanted her, even if he wasn’t prepared to admit it. She also knew he
felt protective of her, which was probably part of the conflict he must be
feeling.

Before he could
come up with another objection, she cupped the back of his head with her hands
and brought his face down as she raised her own head toward him.

She hadn’t been
sure what would happen. Or perhaps she’d been afraid that he’d wrench himself
away from her. But the danger must have affected his emotions as well as her
own. When their lips met, it was as though someone had tossed a match into a
pile of gasoline- soaked kindling. Invisible flames rose as heat flared between
them.

She heard him
growl her name and felt him gather her closer as he kissed her with purpose,
running his hands up and down her back.

The heat coming
off him made her dizzy. She should be afraid, but she kept kissing him, letting
him feel all the passion that she’d held inside herself for so long.

Opening her
lips, she invited him to explore her mouth, then did the same with him,
absorbing his taste and the way the mouth-to-mouth contact sent shock waves to
every part of her body.

“You know that
you’re playing with fire?” he asked.

“I know what I
want.”

“Then take off
your clothes.”

Again, a dose of
reality. Was she ready to get undressed in front of him? Or was she going to
back away—the way he hoped she would.

She wouldn’t
give him the satisfaction of scaring her off. Not because she was trying to
score any points, but because what she wanted hadn’t changed, even if he was
trying to make her take a step back.

She did step
back, but only a few feet. She kept her gaze on him as she reached for the hem
of the T-shirt and pulled it over her head, then let it drop on the floor so
that she stood before him naked to the waist…
